super-FAQ? How to get the file from CLI from a library
by Davide Cittaro 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi there, Suppose I have a data library with a file called "Foo"... How can I get the real file associated to "Foo"? I had to copy it somewhere else (without using the web interface). I guess a simple database query is enough... isn't it? Thanks d /* Davide Cittaro Cogentech - Consortium for Genomic Technologies via adamello, 16 20139 Milano Italy tel.: +39(02)574303007 e-mail: davide.cittaro(a)ifom-ieo-campus.it */

How to see stdout even when tool is successful
by Branden Timm 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hello, I'm writing some wrappers for Galaxy and am finding it difficult to debug proper redirection of stderr and stdout in my wrapper subprocesses. When Galaxy detects an error running a tool, it highlights the output files in red and gives you the "bug" icon so that you can view stderr and stdout. However, when Galaxy interprets the tool as having run successfully, I'm unable to find a way to view what was in stdout. Long story short, Galaxy is interpreting my tool to have run successfully even when it hasn't. I'm redirecting stderr to sdtout on my <command> line in the tool conf file so that Galaxy only relies on return codes to detect an error in the tool, not stderr. Is there a way to view stdout when a tool has run "successfully"? Cheers -- Branden Timm Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center btimm(a)glbrc.wisc.edu

I see what you mean now. In this case the web server which will be running Galaxy (where currently the "galaxy" user has no home directory) would not be the same machine as the cluster head node, and thus any cluster jobs would be run under a separate user account anyway (even if it was also called "galaxy").

Galaxy unix user account
by Peter 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi all, I'm trying to install Galaxy on CentOS, and doing things under my own user account the basics look fine (sh setup.sh work, sh run.sh works, and I can access the galaxy webpages on localhost). I'm now trying to do this via a new Unix/Linux user account just for Galaxy, as recommended here: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/ProductionServer For security I have deliberately setup a "galaxy" user with no home directory and with login disabled (based on the apache user): sudo /usr/sbin/adduser -s /sbin/nologin -M -l -r -c "Galaxy" galaxy I have downloaded Galaxy using hg, moved the directory to /opt/galaxy-dist and made the new galaxy user the owner of this folder and its contents. Then: sudo -u galaxy sh setup.sh That seems to work, next: sudo -u galaxy sh run.sh This fails as it tries to write to ~/.python-eggs (i.e. my home directory, the galaxy user doesn't have a home directory), so based on the error message's suggestion to set PYTHON_EGG_CACHE what I have tied is editing run.sh to include the following line near the start: export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE="/opt/galaxy-dist/.python-eggs" That seems to work, but is is a good idea? Do you instead recommend giving the galaxy account a home directory, and installing galaxy there? It would make setting environment variables simpler... Thanks, Peter

Galaxy on Python 2.7
by Peter 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hello all, I note that Galaxy currently only supports Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6. http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/src/tip/scripts/check_python.py http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-dist/src/tip/scripts/check_python.py The last of the Python 2.x series, Python 2.7, was released back in July 2010. Are there any known issues with Galaxy on Python 2.7? Peter P.S. I filed an issue on this: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/386/python-27-support

Adding links to other Galaxy tools in help section of a tool
by Johannes Eichner 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Dear Galaxy development team, I have set up a customized instance of Galaxy at the University of Tuebingen, Germany. I wondered, if it is possible to add links to other Galaxy tools in the help section of a certain tool. This would make sense for tools that are applied successively in a workflow. Is it possible to add links to tools naturally preceeding or succeeding a certain tool in a workflow? This would make the workflow structure more obvious for the user. Kind regards, Johannes -- Dipl.-Inf. (Bioinf.) Johannes Eichner Univ. Tuebingen, WSI-RA, Sand 1, D-72076 Tuebingen, Germany Phone: (+49/0) 7071 / 29 70436 Fax: (+49/0) 7071 / 29 5091

Tool not showing up
by Branden Timm 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi All, I've created a new tool but I'm unable to get it to show up under "My Tools". I've added it to tool_conf.xml, as shown here: http://codepad.org/sJHNzabY And my tool configuration can be viewed here: http://codepad.org/9r4tnNYV The only tool that shows up under My Tools is soap2. I've confirmed that both the tools/macs folder and macs.xml itself are owned by the Galaxy user. I've tried in several different browsers in case it was a caching issue, but that doesn't seem to be it either. Any ideas? Cheers -- Branden Timm Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center btimm(a)glbrc.wisc.edu

Is a RabbitMQ server required to transfer datasets from a sample request?
by nsfox＠uwaterloo.ca 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, Is using AMQ protocol required to transfer datasets in the Data Libraries and Sample Tracking? I am using trying to use the LIMS components without a bar code scanner and I'd rather not have to deal with a RabbitMQ server. I didn't change the commented out galaxy_amqp parameters in universe_wsgi.ini but then I recieved an error while trying to transfer datasets. So is there a way for me to transfer files with setting up a RabbitMQ server? Thanks, Natalie Fox
